Hawaii Sex Offenders

Offenders Law protects the citizens of the state from sex offenders
living in Hawaii. The Law subjects all sex offenders in Hawaii to
mandatory registration. Sex offenders register with the office of the
Attorney General of the State.

The timeframe for
registration depends on the nature of crime. Registration may last a
few years or for a lifetime.

mandates all sex offenders living in the state to update their

living in Hawaii and convicted in another state but with the intent
of residing in Hawaii.

criminal’s department makes sure the public are aware of the
dangers of sex offenders in their community.
